I wasn't crazy about this one. The CGI was sub par for one thing. Pennywise was pretty lame, especially compared to Tim Curry's interpretation. The acting was mixed at best; the boy who played the main bully was pretty bad and so was the Jewish kid.
The weakest aspect to me was that almost every scene was a "monster attacks" scene. There were some character development moments, but many of them were part of the attack scenes. It's like having Jaws bite someone in every single scene; sometimes you need to let the audience breathe before you start ratcheting up the tension again. Confession: outside of Tim Curry I didn't really like the original It. I also don't like the novel; it's insanely bloated. You don't need a novel the size of War and Peace to tell this type of story. |
